Oh it’s so dog heaven. Not in the photo is a huge treeless slope stretching down from the officers’ houses (the park used to be an army base), where dogs can frolic with each other – but the slope is so wide that we usually miss each other. At the bottom of the slope there’s a row of plane trees along a disused road; the trees are always shedding branches and Cooper just loves finding one and racing around holding it and then tearing it to bits. Today he chose one the size of a small tree – it extended 3 or 4 feet on each side of his mouth, and it wasn’t slender. Then he runs through all the puddles, because the exertion has heated him up so much.
It’s also human heaven though, especially on a day like this one.

That looks like Dog Heaven!
